Does anyone know if work on something like "ECSRP" is going on, anywhere?

We've recently worked on getting it working with PKCS #11,

https://github.com/arpa2/srp-pkcs11
https://github.com/arpa2/srp-pkcs11/blob/rfc5054_compat/doc/design/srp-pkcs11.pdf

It could be interesting to see if this translates to the Elliptic Curve
arena.

I heard rumours of alternatives being weighed against one another, but
failed to find anything concrete.  Links are quite welcome!
